    handle better than a 111s ?
    What suspension is used in the Libra and Spyder ?
    Friends Rossa is older but shows the drawbacks of using suspension off a donor vehicle in its handling.
    Nice cars but I'd need convincing they'd beat an Elise.
    I'm interested to know more about the cars, maybe you can educate us all and get more converts into the kit car fold !!

    Brand new suspension is used, GAZ shocks front and rear, normal wishbones on the front and a trailing arm setup at the back. I have met the man who designed it, pure genius!

    Interesting to see how they stack up against the original Hayabusa track car the RADICAL. Especially the turbo version

    LoL @ Doza. Westfield XTR2/XTR4 are easily one of the best track cars in the world. In my opinion they look like slighlty sized down Le Mans cars and that would make you feel pretty special driving them

    i recently saw a caterham going 10 10ths around a hillclimb, (on tarmac) dam it was really fast! it is good to see that it smashed a evo 8 and a porche 911 track special (not 2 mention a boxter S) he was warming up his tyres (burning out) and he just lost all his oil out the bottom of his fuel tank/ fuel lines? how the hell could this happen?!? i am confused! o well
